I am a high school teacher in Missouri, and I am using this blog to publish some of the poems and short stories I am composing. Most of the compositions are based on people I have known and things I have experienced in my hometown.

The poem has an amazing flow captivating the mind in its strong current..you are one lucky soul having your loved ones in your dreams & memories..though a little personal but I can't help mentioning it, my father passed away last year and I so sorely miss his presence...sometimes dreams of the near and dear ones are gifts of God...

Oh, this is so very poignant...especially that last stanza, where you lost them once and then lose them again every morning when you wake. In some way, however, it is good that they visit you. I am not visited by anyone who lived before, but I would like to be.

you captured this so beautifully... the gentleness of your pen, the depth of your heart, and the love... went through a similar situations.... mom gone one October, mother-in-law 5 months later, and my dad the following October... taught me life is too precious to waste... if only i had one more afternoon at the table talking about life things... you captured the reality of loss
